It configures everything, not only screen fonts, and does it's job well.
What do it? Sets up fonts and keyboard? console-tools does it too.
d-i installs console-cyrillic for russiab locale. Probably it should install it for all cyrillic locales.
It is installed as part of the 'cyrillic' task.
I think it is a good idea to add a menu-entry to base-config which will be displayed only when cyrillic locate is detected anfd call dpkg-reconfigure console-cyrillic, to help user to set up a working cyrillic console.
Why depend on the 'cyrillic' task if it is possible to set up cyrillic console without it?
